In the summer and early autumn of 1974, flies were trapped in the Beirut districts of Ashraffiyah, Burj, Burj-Hammoud, Quarantine, the New Slaughter House, Ras Beirut, American University Campus, and the suburbs of Chiyah and Mreyjieh. Musca domestica, Muscina stabulans, Calliphora vicina, Phormia regina, Phaenicia sericata, Sarcophagidae spp. and Fannia canicularis were identified. The rural areas of Mreyjieh and Chiyah had higher densities of Musca domestica while higher densities of Calliphoridae spp. were found in the Slaughter House, Quarantine and Burj-Hammoud districts. Twenty-nine isolates, ten of Shigella spp. and 19 of Salmonella spp. were obtained from the bacteriological studies of 72 batches of Muscidae spp. and 84 Calliphoridae spp. These results indicate the hyperendemicity of salmonellosis and shigellosis in the areas under study, due to the prevalent poor sanity conditions and high fly infestation. It is suggested that in countries where valid health statistics are not available, bacteriological studies of flies may provide essential epidemiological information.
1974年夏秋时节，在贝鲁特的阿什拉菲耶、布尔吉、布尔吉-哈穆德、检疫站、新屠宰场、拉斯贝鲁特、美国大学校园以及基亚赫和姆雷杰耶郊区捕获了苍蝇。鉴定出了家蝇、厩腐蝇、红头丽蝇、黑须亚麻蝇、丝光绿蝇、麻蝇科物种以及厩螫蝇。姆雷杰耶和基亚赫的农村地区家蝇密度较高，而在屠宰场、检疫站和布尔吉-哈穆德地区发现丽蝇科物种的密度较高。从对72批蝇科物种和84批丽蝇科物种的细菌学研究中获得了29株分离株，其中10株为志贺氏菌属，19株为沙门氏菌属。这些结果表明，由于普遍存在的卫生条件差和苍蝇大量滋生的情况，在所研究地区沙门氏菌病和志贺氏菌病呈高度地方性流行。建议在没有有效卫生统计数据的国家，对苍蝇进行细菌学研究可能会提供重要的流行病学信息。
